At this time I recommend all Untangle admins disable automatic updates. The next version of Untangle brings with it some very nice new features, but it's also built on Debian 9. As this upgrade requires a manual selection of a new kernel after a reboot, that brings with it potential risk during upgrade.
I do not recommend anyone perform this upgrade without being ready to reinstall, plan accordingly. If you do so, Mr. Murphy will work for you instead of against you.
And if you're using my Nexgen Appliances, NG Series hardware, you'll need to take the additional step of removing any CF Card from your system, or at least disabling the SATA port for said card BEFORE the upgrade. Something about the new kernel hates seeing Clonezilla hanging around, servers end up in rolling reboots, it's not pretty.
